Cream Fresh Cream - EX German vinyl LP album (LP record)
|
Tracklisting / Additional Info: |
Fresh Cream was Cream's debut and the first of their three consecutive fantastic albums made while they were together. Although this is clearly their best blues statement with covers of Willie Dixon's 'Spoonful' and their cover of Muddy Waters classic 'Rollin' And Tumblin'. The album also points to the excellent songwriting of Disraeli Gears and the extensive jamming featured on Wheels Of Fire.
Jack Bruce's collection of originals here are among the best he'd pen for the band whether it was the blues of 'Sleepy Time Time', the excellent 'Dreaming' or the short jamming 'N.S.U.', which would lead to the improvisation of their live shows exhibited on Wheels Of Fire and their live albums. Bruce's bass playing is also very innovative throughout the album and he plays a mean harmonica on 'Cat's Squirrel' and 'Rollin' And Tumblin.' Ginger Baker's drumming is very powerful and innovative throughout, particularly on his compositions 'Toad' and the excellent 'Sweet Wine.' Clapton didn't write any tracks here, however his playing is outstanding, particularly on 'Spoonful' and the Skip James tune 'I'm So Glad.' The band's performances of the cover tunes are very powerful with Jack Bruce truly making 'Spoonful' his own with his excellent vocal performance. Simply a stunning debut from one of the best bands from the '60s. Highly recommended.
The labels are as clean as the day they were printed, with only one spindle mark on each side which is only visible in the right light.
The sleeve does have some laminate lift along the spine, some minor scuffing along the bottom edge, and the white rear of the sleeve has slightly lost some colour over the years.
The vinyl itself has retain a 'just pressed' sheen for over fifty years out in the wild, and is free of any marks or scuffs. Although it has been played, it has been handled with care and is a gloriouos one-owner copy.
Overall we have strictly graded this as excellent condition, and it is only the third copy of this German pressing we have seen in over thirty years.
